As an admirer of both Rockies’ beauty and fine whiskey craftsmanship, the allure of TINCUP’s Fourteener Bourbon Whiskey is undeniable. Encased in a beautifully designed white cardboard container, it’s not just a drink; it’s a collector’s item and an exquisite gift. Aged for 14 years in new American Oak barrels, the whiskey boasts a rich, smooth flavor, a true embodiment of Colorado’s wilderness essence.

Peaks and Bottles: Quandary Tribute

What sets this release apart is the tribute to Quandary Peak, a perennial favorite among hikers with over 22,000 conquerors in 2022, according to the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI). The bottle transforms into a canvas, depicting Quandary Peak’s allure and celebrating the Tenmile Range, urging adventurers to explore the great outdoors.

Beyond the whiskey’s allure, TINCUP demonstrates a commendable commitment to conservation. Partnering with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI), TINCUP pledges $14,000 with every annual release, supporting CFI’s Adopt a Peak Program focused on trail maintenance and restoration efforts.

Hiking Data Insights

Digging into the 2022 data from CFI reveals Quandary Peak as the second most hiked 14er in Colorado, attracting 22,000 hikers out of an estimated 279,000 hiking use days on Colorado 14ers. Brian Sargeant, Development and Communications Manager at CFI, expresses gratitude for TINCUP’s ongoing support, highlighting their involvement beyond financial aid.
